Summary of The Day: Your airport transfer will be waiting for you to transport you to Haka Lodge Queenstown.

Check-in available from 2:00pm, though feel free to drop off your gear if you arrive earlier.

Queenstown - Cardrona - Queenstown

Summary of The Day: Breakfast is between 7:30am and 8:00am this morning with an 8:15am departure to Cardrona.

Cardrona is renowned among skiers and boarders for inspiring terrain and dry, natural snow. With 320 hectares of wide, undulating trails, open slopes, steep chutes and awesome terrain parks, there’s something here for all to enjoy.

A wide area of the mountain is serviced by chair lifts, so access is easy and queues are rare. Cardrona's three basins offer wide-open spaces and a mix of terrain that's suitable for snowboarders and skiers of all abilities. On-mountain facilities include five cafes, a shop, hire facilities and a workshop.

With over 20 national and international skiing and snowboarding events held at Cardrona each year, we may make slight amendments to our tour itinerary if we feel any events would add value to your Haka Snow experience.

For those that have selected a “Beginner” your morning on the mountain starts with your first lesson at 10:20am and the second at 1:00pm.

The Remarkables

Summary of The Day: On offer today for your delight: wide open trails, native Keas, powder snow, spectacular views, sun drenched terrain and unforgettable runs. There's terrain here like you have never seen before, and, if you're prepared to exercise the legs a little, you will discover some of the longest off-piste runs around.

The Remarks (as it’s known to the locals) is set in a vast natural amphitheatre high in the rugged ranges at the eastern end of Queenstown’s Lake Wakatipu. Being so far up is a major plus, giving the ski field a long, reliable season - and the north-facing aspect makes it a natural sun-trap.

If you purchased a “Beginner,” then today you have your final lesson, to get you ready for Coronet Peak.

Coronet Peak

Summary of The Day: With outstanding views over Queenstown and Lake Wakatipu, Coronet Peak is the oldest and most developed ski area in the South Island. Spread across a broad mountain, the field is wide and sunny with an astounding variety of runs, and the on-field facilities are some of the best around.

Coronet Peak has dedicated slopes for first timers, long, wide groomed trails and plenty of choice for more experienced skiers. Once you know the ropes, you'll enjoy the vertical off the express quad, or exploring the rolling terrain with plenty of dips and drops for great variety. For boarders, Coronet Peak is a natural terrain park, full of endless hits and powder stashes!

If you have not yet sampled the local nightlife, be sure to head out with your fellow travelers for a hot meal and some liquid refreshment.

Your guide will see you tomorrow morning for a farewell breakfast before some of you head off home.
